Description

For providing the method for lethargic sleep alarm in vehicle
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of for providing the method and system of lethargic sleep alarm to the driver of vehicle and including this The vehicle of system.
Background technique
The tired driver of vehicle may become absent minded, this is not only for driver and Vehicular occupant and right Also danger close for pedestrian near the driver of other vehicles and vehicle.It is often the case that expectation arrives at the destination as early as possible, Therefore driver takes more times to drive, and in terms of lethargic sleep angle, this is unsafe.
Current many vehicles are equipped with the lethargic sleep detection system that can be warned to driver's offer when detecting lethargic sleep sign System.This system may for example analyze head and/or the eye movement of driver to detect lethargic sleep sign.Other systems are based on Analyze the steering of vehicle location and vehicle relative to lane markings.
But, it can be common that driver ignores warning from lethargic sleep detection system.Such as the opportunity of warning signal is not smart It is wrong for really or briefly warning.
EP 3002557 describes a system for preventing driver attention from not concentrating.The system is based on determination Whether the road segments that will occur are unchanged.If it is determined that the road segments that will occur are unchanged, then can be caused in vehicle Some movements are moved to avoid the potential scatterbrained situation of the driver as caused by lethargic sleep.However, even if attempting when providing When the movement for keeping driver to regain consciousness, there is also the relatively high risks that driver always falls asleep.For example, driver may neglect It may ignore depending on this movement and in an identical manner and warn.
Therefore, it is necessary to be further improved the lethargic sleep detection for vehicle.
Summary of the invention
In view of above, an object of the invention is the lethargic sleep detection improved in vehicle and warns.
According to the first aspect of the invention, it provides a kind of for providing the method for lethargic sleep alarm, institute to vehicle driver The method of stating includes: that collect for vehicle include hold for the driving behavior data of driver and the driving for driver Current driving background (current drive context) data of continuous time;Collect instruction vehicle current traffic situation and one The traffic conditions data of time in it, determine the position of vehicle, wherein currently driving background data, traffic conditions data and position It sets to form lethargic sleep estimated data's group, provides lethargic sleep estimated data group to remote server, lethargic sleep risk measure is received by vehicle, Based on comparing lethargic sleep estimated data group and include the lethargic sleep estimated data group formerly collected from multiple vehicles and when in multiple vehicles The correlation of each driver determines the history lethargic sleep data of lethargic sleep degree to determine when collecting first lethargic sleep estimated data group in The lethargic sleep risk measure determines the determining lethargic sleep degree by the lethargic sleep detection system in each vehicle, is at least based on lethargic sleep Risk measure provides lethargic sleep alarm to driver.
The present invention is based on the recognition that: it is associated with vehicular traffic situation, position and current driving background by comparing Data provide more accurate lethargic sleep alarm with the data formerly collected.The historical data is additionally associated with by being collected history The lethargic sleep data that lethargic sleep detection system in each vehicle of data determines.Hence, it is recognised that being possibly based on from other vehicles Or statistics that selectively data from other information source are formed provide lethargic sleep alarm to vehicle driver.For example, When the driving that data may relate to for driver under some traffic conditions (such as highway of low-density traffic) continues Between, and may determine whether warning signal should be provided based on the time in this and current driving background such as one day.
Therefore, present invention provide the advantage that possibly improving the lethargic sleep alarm time for being provided to driver to make alarm become It obtains more effectively.Particularly, driver may be using the behavior not ignoring alarm but should taking seriously.
Traffic conditions data may indicate that time in one day, traffic density horizontal (such as instruction low-density rural traffic Or high density urban transit system), road stretch characteristics (such as the level of dull road, height change, bend quantity, road width, Road speeds limitation, road type such as gravel or pitch).Time (The time of the day) in one day may include In other type traffic conditions data, such as the time in one day with traffic conditions level.
It is current drive background can further comprise road type, the time in one day, current driving trip length, for working as At least one of driving degree etc. is assisted in preceding driving stroke.
Driving behavior data indicate how driver shows when driving.For example, driver is on the way able to maintain one Cause path traveling in currently drive continued how long etc..
Such as vehicle location can be determined based on the GPS data collected by GPS in vehicle.
Lethargic sleep can be compared based on the mode found in the historical data that may have led to first driver's lethargic sleep behavior Estimated data's group and history lethargic sleep data.It thus collects and is mapped in for lethargic sleep estimated data's group of current vehicle from other vehicles Historical data to determine the behavior of current vehicle and whether the traffic conditions for current vehicle indicate lethargic sleep driver's Risk increases.For current vehicle data (i.e. lethargic sleep estimated data group) can also with the data from other sources for example from The data of weather station or road management office compare.
Lethargic sleep estimated data group can be completed in " cloud " on the remote server compared with history lethargic sleep data.Cause And lethargic sleep estimated data's group is uploaded to remote server.Lethargic sleep risk is determined based on the comparison step executed on the server Measured value, wherein receiving lethargic sleep risk measure from server (or from intermediate server) by vehicle.It is measured based on lethargic sleep risk It is worth and provides lethargic sleep alarm to driver based on the current lethargic sleep degree of identified driver.
Further, since it is preferred that execute the evaluation of lethargic sleep risk measure in cloud on the server, therefore work as lethargic sleep risk Measured value indicates that advantageously only lethargic sleep risk measure can be received from cloud when lethargic sleep risk level increases.In other words, if sentenced It is disconnected that without or there is only lesser lethargic sleep risk, then server can not provide any alarm to vehicle.Under this situation, in vehicle Lethargic sleep detection system independently of lethargic sleep risk measure execute lethargic sleep risk estimation.
Therefore, in an embodiment of the present invention, compare lethargic sleep estimated data group and the history lethargic sleep number from multiple vehicles It can execute on the server accordingly and the step of determining lethargic sleep risk measure.
Lethargic sleep degree can be determined by the lethargic sleep detection system in vehicle.This system can be based on analysis for detecting lethargic sleep The head movement of sign and/or eye movement are worked.The detection can be based further on the expected driving path of analysis and reality Border driving path.Lethargic sleep determines that system itself is known to the skilled in the art.It may include several lethargic sleep inspections in one vehicle Examining system.For example, the first lethargic sleep detection system is potentially based on analysis eye movement, the second lethargic sleep detection system is potentially based on for example Expected driving path and practical driving path are analyzed by lane markings.
In one embodiment, when in vehicle driver lethargic sleep degree indicate driver's lethargic sleep when, can by vehicle from Server requests lethargic sleep risk measure.Thus vehicle may request lethargic sleep risk measure from server.

Therefore, the method advantageously considers the probability for having been detected by wrong lethargic sleep, this can be further improved and be mentioned Opportunity and efficiency for alarm.Such as road segments during daytime driving are it has been reported that excessive lethargic sleep driver, and No other data (driving background data, behavioral data or traffic conditions data) are supported to speculate the lethargic sleep detected.Due to too Driving behavior caused by sun reflection or lane markings inferior etc., may cause the driving behavior of deviation and non-driver is confused It sleeps, so that these drivers are for example mistakenly considered lethargic sleep.
If it is determined that road segments are wrong lethargic sleep road segments, then can not be provided to driver associated with road segments Lethargic sleep alarm.Road segments may be the road segments that vehicle front will occur or the current present road area advanced thereon Section.
For example, if known road segments are lane markings inferior, it may cause road segments and be identified as wrong lethargic sleep road Road section can then pass through several data identifing source wrong way sections.This poor quality lane markings may cause lethargic sleep detection system System has falsely detected the lethargic sleep driver of in fact not lethargic sleep.The distribution of the lethargic sleep determined by multiple vehicles, which can be formed, to be used for Identify the basis of wrong lethargic sleep road segments.For example, if distribution of the identified lethargic sleep situation relative to traffic conditions data The normal distribution of reported lethargic sleep situation is excessively deviated from, then road segments can be indicated as wrong lethargic sleep road segments.
According to one embodiment, driver's lethargic sleep degree instruction lethargic sleep that lethargic sleep detection system determines in through vehicle is driven When the person of sailing, the determination of wrong lethargic sleep road segments may be overthrown and provide lethargic sleep to driver by lethargic sleep detection system Alarm.In other words, if the lethargic sleep detection system in vehicle indicates driver's lethargic sleep, wrong lethargic sleep roadway area may be ignored Section instruction and anyway all to driver provide lethargic sleep alarm.Therefore, it does not damage and is examined by the lethargic sleep in single unit vehicle The safety that examining system provides.
For example, it may be possible to which following situation occurs, that is, the first lethargic sleep detection system based on such as eyeball and/or head movement Indicate driver's lethargic sleep, and based on from based on detection Road lane markings operation the second lethargic sleep detection system data, when Preceding road segments are indicated as wrong lethargic sleep detection path.In this case i.e. when lethargic sleep detection system is based on different analyses When operation, ignores indicated wrong lethargic sleep road segments and all provide lethargic sleep alarm to driver anyway.
